1. I' am not sure when i found out raw was the best, i didnt know when i had my first ferret (9 yrs old), i think i found out when i did my informative speech on ferrets about 2 years ago for school. (I got an A lol)
2. I figured when switching their diet I would keep a good kibble always available to my ferrerts and also incorporate raw store bought food, not whole prey.
3. I’ am interested in switching to a natural diet for my ferrets because I know it is much healthier for them. I would like to think it could enable them to live a longer happier, healthier life.
4. Yes, I do realize that switching their diets is a time consuming process that will take a lot of patience. I want the best for them. I have time to do it now especially with summer coming.
5. I have 2 male ferrets, my first born is 1 year old, and my new baby is 3 months old. I’ve had Monty, my 1 year old since 08/2012 and I got my baby Dusty 04/2013. The only “health problem” present is my 1 year old has a cyst in his throat, I took him to the vet and he says that it doenst “look bad” and that if it got bigger then we could do surgery.
6. I currently feed my ferrets what they were weened onto before i bought them which is (I know its horrible for them- again why I NEED to switch) Marshalls select chicken formula and ferretone.
7. I’ am currently attempting to switch now with doing a 1 to 4 ratio of Wysongs archetypal-1 and some grizzly salmon oil. Mostly just focusing on the archetypal-1, the baby is fine with it, i have to do a few droples of ferretone for my big one to eat, so far its going well.
8. I love all animals, always have, however i'am passoniate about ferrets and would kill for my babies! My oldest (since i've known him longer) is my happiness and make me happier than anyone could!
9.I always have access to my computer.
